A laugh burst from my lips. “Dream on, bro. I’ve never even considered bottoming.”

“Are you so sure about that?”

Bennett’s voice had me whirling around. “Oh, hey.”

He glanced between the two of us. “What’s up?”

Grayson grinned. “I was just going to bed and giving my blessing for you guys to partake in hot monkey sex tonight.”

Rolling his eyes, Bennett laughed. “Thanks for your blessin’.”

“No prob. Night.”

“Night, Gray,” I said.

When we were alone, Bennett cocked his brows. “You’re never going to let me top you?”

“I hadn’t thought about it.” Closing the gap between us, I said, “You’d be the only man I’d ever consider allowing in my ass.”

The corners of Bennett’s lips quirked. “So romantic.”

I grinned. “You gotta work with me. I’m a work in progress with Vivian, so I’m sure as hell going to be one with you.”

His expression grew serious. “What changed your mind?”

“Vivian and Grayson.” When he appeared somewhat hurt that it hadn’t been of my own volition, I sighed. “You know me better than anyone, Bennie. You see straight through all mybullshit. You know there was no way in hell I was going to bend unless I had some help. I was scared of my feelings and what it would mean for us. But I also figured out that I need you in more ways than I was willing to admit. ” I cupped his cheek. “Eventually I would’ve got there. I just needed a boost.”

Slowly, he nodded his head. “I suppose every stubborn jackass needs a kick to get going.”

Snorting, I replied, “You’re absolutely right.”

Cupping the back of my head, Bennett pulled my head down to his. “I am just so happy that you got there. These last few days have been hard and I really missed you. Maybe one day I’ll claim all your body just like I have your heart.”

His words sent a shudder through me. “I trust you, and I will look forward to it.”

With a sexy smirk, Bennett said, “Now take me to the bedroom and acquaint me with this hot monkey sex that Grayson mentioned.

“You got it.”

CHAPTER THIRTY: BENNETT

With a chill in the late March air, I took Vivian’s hand in mine. When she brought her gaze to mine, she cocked her brows, “Ready?”

I exhaled a breath. “As I’ll ever be.”

She grinned. “I can’t possibly imagine why you would want to spend your one free day between the regional championships at my baby shower.”

A nervous laugh bubbled from my lips. “You know I’d do anything for you.”

Vivian reached up to kiss me. “I do love you for that.”

“You’re welcome.”

“However, I would argue in this case you’d do anything for my mother since I wasn’t sold on having a baby shower.”

“How could I say no to your mother? The last thing I would ever want was to be on her bad side.”

Although Vivian wasn’t due until the last week in June, Laura was determined for her to have her shower early. She argued that Walker had come a month early, so she’d missed out on one of her baby showers. She wanted Vivian to get to experience everything. Laura also reasoned that by her ninth month, thelast thing Vivian was going to want to do was get dressed up and gush over baby onesies.
